- Document Description
- The Bay Area’s Integrated Regional Water Management Plan is a nine-county effort to coordinate and improve the water supply reliability, protect water quality, manage flood protection, maintain public health standards, protect habitat and watershed resources, and enhance the overall health of the San Francisco Bay. Initially prepared in 2006, this 2019 Plan updates the 2013 Plan to conform to Department of Water Resources (DWR) requirements outlined in the 2016 IRWM Plan Guidelines. Once approved by the state, the 2019 Bay Area IRWM Plan will allow the Bay Area to access Proposition 1 funding from DWR.

- Categorical Exemption
- Type, Section or Code
- State CEQA Guidelines §15306: Information Collection; §15262: Feasibility and Planning Studies
- Reasons for Exemption
- The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it consists of basic data collection and resource evaluation activities which would not result in the disturbance of any environmental resource (CEQA Guidelines §15306). Additionally, the project involves planning studies for possible future actions which the participating agencies have not yet approved. Once the Bay Area IRWM 2019 Plan Update is approved, there will be no legally binding effect on later activities (CEQA Guidelines §15262).
